Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 141 runs, seal ODI series 2-1

Bangladesh clinch three-match ODI series after 141- run win in the third and final ODI match.

The 141- run win was Bangladesh’s 100th ODI victory and it also claimed the hosts’ sixth consecutive series win at home.

Batting first, Bangladesh rode on Tamim’s seventh century, the most by a Bangladeshi batsman, to post 279 in the third ODI.

In reply, the Afghans, who had fought hard in the first two ODIs, were bundled out for a paltry 138.

Earlier, Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first in 3rd and final ODI of three One Day International series against Afghanistan.
